Natural Homemade Deodorant – Vegan and it actually works!
This homemade deodorant recipe is a natural and effective way to keep body odor at bay. With simple ingredients like arrowroot powder, baking soda, coconut oil, and antibacterial essential oils, it's easy to make and customize to your scent preferences.
½cupBaking soda (use 1/4 cup, if you are sensitive to it)
5-7tbspCoconut oil
15-20dropsAntibacterial essential oils - your scent of choice :)
Instructions
Add all the ingredients, including arrowroot powder or cornstarch, baking soda, coconut oil, and essential oils, to a bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together well. You can use a kitchen-aid mixer if you have one, but a regular tablespoon will work just as well.
Check the consistency of the mixture as you mix it. The consistency of the deodorant may change depending on the weather. Add more coconut oil if needed to achieve a thick paste that spreads easily.
Once the deodorant has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to a clean and dry container with a tight-fitting lid. A glass jar or tin container works well for this.
